Rich satin and faille Franchise Of
delicate ivory tint are the prefer
red materials for fashionable bridal
dresses, made with extreme sim
plicity, the train long and usually
untrimmed, the corsage high, with
the neck cut square or in V-shape,
and elbow sleeves. Handsome lace
point or Duchesse, and pearl-beaded
tulle are used for ornamenting the
front and sides of the skirt, to which
the garniture is principally confined.
The foot of the skirt in front is fin
ished with n full ruching, sometimes
of tulle, through which oops of satin
or moire ribbon are interspered, or
of lace or the dress material, and
sometimes the French fashion is fol-
lowed of using garland of orange
blossoms set in lace
A notable bridal dress is of rich
ivory satin, made in the style Of the
sixteenth century, with q long, per
fectly plain court train, the front
ornamented with three hounccs Of
point lace, each headed by embroid
cry of pearls and silver, and the foot
finished with a garland Of orange
blossoms. The pointed bodice is
embroidered with pearls and silver
and finished with a high Medeci
collar, similarly embroidered. An
other is OF ivory white faille Fran
caise, with square, perfectly plain
court train, the front draped with
Duchesse lace, over a foot-rnching
of tulle and satin loops, and the cor
sage cut square in the neck and
trimmed with ruchings Of tulle and
ribbon and sprays Of orage bios
SONS.

and pearl beads, one side ornament
ed with cascade Of satin, from
which depends sprays of lilies Of
the valley, and the o;her side almost
covered with q Greek drapery sus-
tanned by a Marguerite pocket en-
broidered to match the tablier. The
train is of satin, slightly pointed in
shape, and falls over the petticoat.
The corsage has the pointed front
covered with embroidery like that
on the tablier, and is completed by
unique monturc oflilies Of the val
lev and quilings of satin.

greatness within its grasp. "Now,"
he continued, "let us overstock this
market with schoolma' ans and SER
want girls. Advertise for them every
where. offer big wages and hire all
that comes. Well get enough after
a while to go around, and when we
do it we may have few on hand"
The suggestion was discussed at
considerable length, and finally
adopted. The school board decided
to hire ten teachers, and twenty of
the married men in town agreed to
take twenty-five servant girls. The
advertisements brought many an
swers, and in the course of time the
town began to fill up with young
women of every description. AS
they arrived they were assigned to
different families, and before a week
had passed there were more mar
riages on foot than the preacher
could keep trace of. The expert
ment had been found to work splen
didly, and as the only schoolma'am
in town now is said to be on the
point of marrying, it is thought the
same device will be resorted to again.
Six girls have married out of Me
Ginn's kitchen, and during the last
twelve months there have been four
teen teachers at the little school.
The present incumbent is grena-
dier from Michigan and the com
mittee think she will last some time.
